Prime example:

'"James Alefantis'" instagram by morning of 11/7/16 it was set to private: http://pastebin.com/JktVbhZ7

He obviously got wind of people looking into his accounts. Maybe someone contacted him directly via instagram and so he locked up all his photos.

Even if that weren't the case, it's important people refrain from reaching out to people being scrutinized. Their public accounts provide so much info.

Archive everything and post away.
